ANDROFERT

What ANDROFERT does

Androfert is a private Brazilian reproductive medicine clinic founded in 1996 in Campinas, São Paulo, exclusively dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of male-factor infertility. The clinic operates as a reference andrology center, offering a full diagnostic arsenal — semen analysis, strict Kruger morphology, sperm DNA fragmentation, acrosome reaction, hypo-osmotic testing, and anti-sperm antibody evaluation — alongside therapeutic services including varicocele microsurgery, sperm retrieval procedures (PESA, TESA, micro-TESE), semen cryopreservation, donor semen, and laboratory support for ICSI/IVF performed by an Associated Physician network.

Its technical foundation rests on ISO 5 (Class 100) and ISO 6 (Class 1000) cleanroom laboratories with HEPA and carbon-impregnated filtration, with company-cited clinical data showing higher embryo quality (51.1% vs 35.3%), higher pregnancy rates (43.1% vs 32.7%), and lower miscarriage (14% vs 25%) versus standard facilities. A standing collaboration with the Andrology Laboratory of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation — rated the leading US andrology lab for over five consecutive years — underpins knowledge exchange and joint research. The clinical team is led by Dr. Sandro Esteves (Technical/Clinical Director), who also drives an active scientific output including authored books, chapters, and congress presentations.

Androfert generates revenue from professional-service fees across clinical laboratory diagnostics, therapeutic semen cryopreservation, donor semen services, and assisted reproduction laboratory procedures. Patients access the clinic through a referral model in which independent urologists, gynecologists, and reproductive specialists (the Associated Physician network, active in Campinas, Londrina, and Jundiaí) evaluate patients and direct them to Androfert's laboratory infrastructure. Adjacent monetization streams include workshops, preceptorships, and published scientific content. Distribution combines physician referrals, an institutional website, an active Instagram presence, and Clinisys-hosted patient and physician portals. The company is founder/physician-led with no disclosed external investment or parent entity.

Revenue model

1. Clinical Laboratory Services: Revenue generated from diagnostic laboratory services including complete semen analysis, specialized sperm function tests, hormone assays, and diagnostic processing. Patients pay for these services through their chosen Associated Physician.
2. Therapeutic Semen Cryopreservation: Storage of patient semen samples for therapeutic purposes including cancer patients prior to treatment, vasectomy patients, and those undergoing reproductive reconstruction surgery. Provides long-term storage of cryopreserved sperm.
3. Donor Semen Services: Rigorous screening and storage of donor semen for couples where male partners are completely sterile. Services include donor matching based on physical characteristics.
4. Assisted Reproduction Laboratory Procedures: Laboratory procedures involved in assisted reproduction treatments performed by Associated Physicians including ICSI, IVF preparation, sperm retrieval procedures (PESA, TESA, micro-TESE), and embryo-related laboratory work.

Products and services

• Andrology Laboratory Services Comprehensive diagnostic testing for male fertility evaluation, including complete semen analysis, strict morphology, hypo-osmotic testing, leukocyte determination, acrosome reaction assessment, anti-sperm antibody testing, and sperm DNA fragmentation. Performed under quality standards aligned with Cleveland Clinic Foundation's Andrology Laboratory. For men with infertility and referring physicians.
• Semen Bank (Banco de Sêmen) Therapeutic cryopreservation of semen for patients facing fertility-threatening treatments such as cancer therapy, vasectomy, or reproductive reconstruction surgery. Also provides screened donor semen for couples with completely sterile male partners, with matching based on physical characteristics. For oncology patients, surgical patients, and couples requiring donor gametes.
• Microsurgery Microsurgical procedures for male reproductive conditions, including varicocele repair, sperm retrieval (TESE, micro-TESE, PESA, TESA), and reproductive tract reconstruction. Performed for men with varicocele, azoospermia, or obstructive conditions, and for couples seeking sperm retrieval for ICSI.
• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Laboratory Service Laboratory micromanipulation service for sperm injection into oocytes using ICSI technique, offered with laser assistance and high optical magnification for optimal sperm selection. Performed as part of assisted reproduction treatments coordinated by Associated Physicians. For couples with severe male factor infertility requiring ART.
• Semen Analysis (Espermograma) Initial evaluation of male fertility assessing semen volume, pH, viscosity, color, liquefaction, sperm count, and quantitative and qualitative motility. For men beginning fertility evaluation or referred by Associated Physicians.
• Strict Morphology (Kruger Technique) Sperm shape evaluation using Kruger's strict criteria with high-quality staining (Diff-Quik and Spermac), examined under 1000x magnification. Used to predict IVF success and natural pregnancy chances. For men undergoing fertility evaluation and couples planning ART.
• Hypo-Osmotic Test (HOST/THO) Sperm vitality test evaluating functional integrity of the sperm plasma membrane and water transport capability. Used to identify viable but immotile sperm for ICSI procedures. For men with low motility or prior ICSI cases requiring viable sperm identification.
• Acrosome Reaction Testing Laboratory assessment of acrosome reaction correlated with sperm fertilizing potential. Particularly useful in unexplained infertility cases and prior IVF fertilization failures. For couples with unexplained infertility or failed ART attempts.
• Immunological Evaluation (Anti-Sperm Antibodies) Immunobeads test detecting IgA, IgG, and IgM anti-sperm antibodies in blood plasma, seminal plasma, or cervical mucus. Used to investigate immunological infertility in men and couples.
• Sperm Processing (Swim-Up and Discontinuous Colloidal Gradient) Semen processing techniques using swim-up and discontinuous colloidal gradients to select high-quality sperm for IUI, IVF, or ICSI. Includes methods to improve sperm fecundity and in vitro maturation of immature sperm. For couples undergoing assisted reproduction procedures.
• Sperm Motility Stimulation (Pentoxifylline)

Quantifiable outcome

• Clinical pregnancy rate of 43.1% with ISO 5 cleanroom vs 32.7% with ISO 6 facility
• +5 more outcomes
